Editing #1

For the first part of our editing we began sequencing the footage from filming parts I & II.

The screenshots above illustrate all of the footage we have in place and what else we will need to shoot during the third part of filming. 

The thriller first opens with a shot of the Witness running from the estate. This is a shot that is repeated at the end of the video, thus it gives the audience an insight of what is to come. We thought this was a particularly effective introduction, before we are shown the cafe scene below. We can then distinguish between these two different time settings and relate to the estate scenes as being part of a flashback. 

We began to piece together this initial cafe scene, before we broke the scene up with shots of the cafe as the story becomes narrated. 

I decided to change the motion speed of the estate shots, to fully emphasize these establishing shots. 

A series of shots are used before the action takes place (victim is pulled from his car). We are also filming the victim's entrance into the estate via car, to build up more of a setting, before throwing our audience into action.
